Contentions Fierce, Ardent, And Dire, Spring From

Still From The Sire The Son Shall Hear Of The Stern Strife, And Carnage Drear, Of Flodden's Fatal Field, When Shiver'd Was Fair Scotland's Spear, And Broken Was Her Shield!

He Hath A Share Of Man's Intelligence, But No Share Of Man's Falsehood.

Alas!... What Is It, Valiant Knight, Save An Offering Of Sacrifice To A Demon Of Vain Glory, And A Passing Through The Fire Of Moloch? What Remains To You As A Prize Of All The Blood You Have Spilled, Of All The Travail And Pain You Have Endured, Of All The Tears Which Your Deeds Have Caused, When Death Hath Broken The Strong Man's Spear, And Overtaken The Speed Of His War-horse?

Come He Slow Or Come He Fast It Is But Death That Comes At Last

True Love's The Gift Which God Has Given To Man Alone Beneath The Heaven.
